Yakima chiropractor - Accident Chiropratic

   Many people have a preconceived idea as to what chiropractic treatment is. This technique is the most common technique performed by chiropractors at Accident Chiropractic and typically results in a “pop”. The patient is positioned in a way that easily allows the chiropractor to impart proper motion back into restricted joints. This is what the general public most commonly associated with chiropractic treatment. This Technique can be performed more gently for elderly patients.

The chiropractic technique that is performed by our Yakima chiropractor focuses on the upper spine and vertebrae. The patient’s head and neck are often cradled in the chiropractor’s arms while he or she moves various parts of the spinal  column. This technique is used to restore normal motion and alignment as well as to improve the patient’s circulation, which relieves pressure on the spinal nerves that can result in pain or numbness. Our Yakima chiropractor will typically ask you to take a deep breath and let it out slowly while he or she performs this motion, which helps the patient relax.

This Yakima chiropractic technique is effective for patients with neck pain, low back pain, sciatica, numbness/tingling of the arms or legs and migraines. The Yakima chiropractor will also utilize this same manipulation on the lower spine in order to relieve pressure on the spinal nerves there.

Typically this Yakima chiropractic technique will leave you feeling instantly relaxed. Most patients experience a nice sense of release in the neck and upper back, which can help reduce or alleviate any pain that they may be experiencing.

You should not have physical therapy before seeing a Yakima chiropractor because it could result in injury. A Yakima chiropractor will be able to recommend exercises that can restore strength and flexibility in your neck, back, shoulders and hips. These Yakima chiropractic techniques are typically performed on an as-needed basis or regular basis.
